Ferguson 7/12/05 deghms(ideg) parsecoo(coostring, inhours=False) Convert an coordinate string to decimal degrees. Accept the input in any one of the following formats: hhh:mm:ss.s -- where hhh is either hours or degrees hhh:mm.m -- can include whitespace hhh mm ss.s hhh mm.m ddd.ddddd -- assumed to be in degrees, not hours ###h##m##.###s -- with or without whitespace ###d##m##.###s -- with or without whitespace If inhours is True, multiply result by 15. (hours->deg) parsecoords(coostring) Convert coordinate string to decimal degrees. Accept the input in any one of the following formats: hhh:mm:ss.s ddd:mm:ss.s -- whitespace allowed, as long as consistent hhh:mm:ss.s ddd:mm:ss.s hhh mm ss.s ddd mm ss.s hhh:mm.m ddd:mm.m hhh mm.m ddd mm.m ddd.ddddd ddd.ddddd -- ra,dec both assumed to be decimal deg also converts: 12h25m32.52s 25d32m25.2s -- with or without whitespace parsedec(decstring) parsera(rastring) to_sexagesimal(ra, dec) wrote coords.html
